Maiden Road Rally to Incorporate all 84 National Club Sections while Spotlighting New Partnership with the Alzheimer’s Association

Driving our wonderful automobiles while supporting an exceptionally worthwhile cause – what better way is there to elevate the Mercedes-Benz experience,”
— Julie Brunger, MBCA National President
COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO, USA, August 30, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Mercedes-Benz Club of America (MBCA) today announced their inaugural Medallion Rally in conjunction with the Alzheimer’s Association (ALZ). The newly conceived road rally aims to integrate all 84 MBCA regional Sections across America, while raising awareness and donations for regional ALZ Chapters.

The rally kicked off on August 26, 2022, when special commemorative medallions became available to local MBCA Sections and Members at large. A $100 Member donation grants involvement in the Rally where each section will meet with their local ALZ regional office, handing over a second Medallion. The Medallions will be collected, and presented on October 26, 2022, in Newport Beach, California at the Mercedes Freude 2022 National event. The Mercedes Freude (Joy) event represents the MBCA’s largest national get-together, with private tours set for the newly relocated Mercedes-Benz Classic Center, the world-famous Petersen Automotive Museum, technical seminars and more.

"Driving our wonderful automobiles while supporting an exceptionally worthwhile cause – what better way is there to elevate the Mercedes-Benz experience,” said Julie Brunger, MBCA National President. I know all of our 84 local Sections of the MBCA join the Board of Directors’ enthusiasm for launching our new partnership with the Alzheimer’s Association in such a dynamic way. And by helping with their care, support, research, and advocacy strategy, “together, we can end Alzheimer’s disease,” becomes more than just a slogan.”

“We're honored and deeply appreciative for the commitment and enthusiasm Mercedes-Benz Club of America brings to the fight against Alzheimer's," said Jim Medd, Director - Corporate Initiatives, Alzheimer's Association. "The funds raised through the inaugural Medallion Rally will bolster our efforts to support families facing Alzheimer's and advance much needed research that will one day change the future for millions.”

While the Medallion Rally is not a race, it is symbolically inspired by the 1955 Mille Miglia, a 1,000-mile race over public roads and mountains of Italy. Sir Stirling Moss (Great Britain) won the legendary race by driving arguably the most famous, and most valuable race car of all time, the Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR.
